PETERBOROUGH owner Keith Chapman says the Panthers will be running next season – despite news breaking of redevelopment plans for the club’s long-time home at the East of England Arena.

Chapman says the club’s short-term future is safe and added: “We are in dialogue with the management at the Showground who have kept us in touch with developments.“Whatever happens, it’s not an overnight situation. I fully expect the sport to continue at the venue for the next few seasons without actually putting a timescale on it.“The Showground have been superb in keeping me updated and have been reassuring. There will be speedway there next year.”
